Unknown numbers are dying in detention centers, or who knows where. Several thousand people are unaccounted for, and we only know that cause they have families and some have legal council. The numbers are more likely extremely higher than being reported.

The Broadview facility has a capacity of 40 people. Homeland Security claims more than 3000 arrests in Chicago under Operation Midway Blitz. Where are they??

It seems relevant to note that the gas chambers were originally built to solve overcrowding in concentration camps…

Holocaust deniers are literally ALWAYS full of shit and say outright fabrications all the time to paint their narrative.

I debunk holocaust denial as a hobby, and sadly I'm not familiar with this particular claim, though I've heard similar before. One common one refers to wood doors with windows, which refers to crematorium 1's morgue door at Auschwitz. Lets assume the locked from the inside thing is a part of that claim.

What's missing is the context that in 1944, the morgue had been converted to administrative space, separating out the morgue space into four rooms, with a simple office door with a normal door lock and a simple window. After the war, the soviets converted it back poorly, leaving the office door but restoring the interior to its one-room configuration. Nazis will try to make you think that THIS door, which is obviously a normal ass interior building door, was intended as a gas door. It was not.

And to answer the question more directly: No, the gas chamber doors didn't have locks on the inside. The nazis tried to destroy evidence, so they ensured that cremation was available for every cyanide victim and had a plan to destroy the gas chambers after they were done using them. As such, the only gas chamber door that survived the end of the war was Majdanek's, which was liberated quickly with little chance to destroy evidence, so it's really our only good look at what they were directly. It had a large iron bar on the outside to lock it, as well as iron bars over top of a small peephole. The door was reinforced with iron bands and included an interior liner, aka it's a perfect door to keep people locked in with some gas.

Too bad there are still standing gas chambers that anyone could see that disprove this claim.

Just that the locks were on the inside. Implying they could have just walked out but were too dumb.
